Mr. Hayes June 28,2005 PA-05000306 Page 2 In the event that any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed,the project will be subject to District Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants). Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing structures on the project site may be required to identify the presence of any asbestos containing building material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must be removed by a certified asbestos-contractor in accordance with CAL-OSHA requirements. If you have any questions concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr. Dwayne England of this office at (559)230-5973, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559)454-1295. An Asbestos Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of measures that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as City development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The measures listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the project proponent should consider: • As many energy-conserving features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.aqmd.gov/business/brochures/zerovoc.htmi High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors.

See http://www.eere.energy.qov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htmi Energy efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energvstar.gov/ Install solar water-heating system(s) Install photovoltaic cells Programmable thermostat(s)for all heating and cooling systems Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows Porch, patio and walkway overhangs Ceiling fans - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive html - Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See http://www.advancedbuildings.org - Electrical outlets around the exterior of the unit to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment - Bicycle parking facilities in a covered secure area. See http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm85.htm - Employee shower and locker areas for bicycle and pedestrian commuters - On-site employee eating area - Low or non-polluting landscape maintenance equipment (e.g. electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf vacuums, electric trimmers and edgers, etc.) - Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site More information can be found at: http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuilding/ http://www.lgc.org,http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/,http://www.consumerenergvicenter.org/index html
